U.S. Microfinance Goes Green
On October 15, Blog Action Day, 13,254 bloggers in 156 countries joined keyboard forces to write about climate change. 18,080,637 people read these posts. Governments in the United States, United Kingdom and Spain wrote official posts on their blogs. What is moving so many people to action? Scientists have determined that 350 pp, (parts per million) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the safe limit for humans. Currently, there are an average of 387 ppm (parts per million) of carbon dioxide in the air. This is scary.
